Differential Geometry: an autistic introduction

TL;DR: this is an attempt at a bottom-up approach to modern differential geometry, covering very deep topics in maximum detail with minimal prerequisites. The "autistic" principle is: no sophisticated construction is introduced until it is motivated enough to feel necessary.

Prerequisites: although a short reference section on point set topology is included, it is not comprehensive. Thus, apart from general calculus, some familiarity with basic topology definitely helps. In certain applications and examples, other topics such as PDE's or complex analysis will come in handy.

Reading guidance: top-level ``parts'' of the book (Roman numerals) are well separated so that cross-references between them are pretty minimal. Thus, for example, if you are broadly familiar with the topics in parts 1-3, you are probably safe reading from part 4.
